Executing Terminal

As of V. 2010.09_08.1286, you can restrict the list of trailers by the executing terminal (or carrier representative) with which they are linked.

Specifying an executing terminal allows you to find trailers that are assigned to a specific cost center. When necessary, this will enable you to use only trailers that are assigned to that cost center.

Notes:

  1. For details on setting up executing terminals or carrier representatives, see Setting up the system to use booking and executing entities in the Status Based Loads Grid documentation.

  2. For details on associating trailers with branches, see "Associating cost centers with companies and resources" in the File Maintenance online help.
